Rolls-Royce’s Yacht-Inspired Phantom Convertible

There it was parked on Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, California. A Rolls-Royce Convertible with the top down. It was parked like any other car.  I could see the entire car in the morning sun. 

I was taking Freddy, my terrier, into the groomer for a trim and bath.  After I parallel parked I realized that there was a Rolls-Royce in front of me.  When you go to the car show they have these cars on display but you really can’t see the interior easily.  This car could be seen by everyone walking or driving by.  No one was around and I ran my hand over the wood not certain that it was really wood.  No license plate on the back told me it was very new.  The owner was definitely showing off.

Check out the luxurious teak wood decking on the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Convertible. “The optional teak decking was inspired by classic racing yachts – hand-made from 30 separate pieces and cut from the same tree for consistent grain,” explained on the hogring.com web site. The teak wood decking is optional and comes at a hefty price of $9,875.  Anyone willing to spend nearly $500,000 on the base model would not baulk at paying an extra $10K for such a gorgeous feature.

 Here are the pictures all taken by me.
